Accuracy
Manually-wound or automatic mechanical models
The accuracy of mechanical models is determined by the bal-
ance, which completes 21,600 or 28,800 vibrations per hour,
depending on the model (see technical specifications). Despite
all the care with which the Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre
master watchmakers have made and assembled your watch,
its accuracy is subject to the influence of gravity, magnetic
fields, impacts and ageing of the oils. The accuracy is measured
by its rate regularity in various positions. The nature of your
constitution or lifestyle may lead to slight irregularities. If you
observe irregular running of your watch, you are advised to
entrust it to an authorised Jaeger-LeCoultre retailer, who will
make any necessary adjustments.
Quartz models
Quartz models are accurate to within 2 to 3 minutes per year.
Jaeger-LeCoultre quartz watches contain a battery and elec-
tronic components. In maintenance operations, your official
Jaeger-LeCoultre Service Centre or your author-
ised Jaeger-LeCoultre retailer will ensure that they
are disposed of in accordance with the standards in
force.
Water-resistance
Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso watches are water-resistant
to 3 bar/atm. This property can be identified by the
symbol engraved on the case-back. This means that you can
use your watch during short swims or when diving in from
the edge, but not from a diving board. Nor must it be used
for scuba diving, or for sports with high risks of impacts, such
as windsurfing or water-skiing. Please also note that leather
straps are not suited to water sports.
Furthermore, it is essential to have your watch's water-
resistance checked by an authorised Jaeger-Lecoultre retailer
at least once every 2 years, and definitely before any period
when it will be subjected to prolonged and/or regular
immersion.
